The music is different here, the vibrations are different, not like planet earth

So there I was, down in the dumps, stinking cold, too much work to do, gloss induced headache and the missus just off to start a 24 hour shift…..and then some soul on FB (thank you James) reminded me of a tune. Not just any tune, a tune. A tune full of memories, of terrace afternoons, dance tent heaven and nightclub sweats. A tune that … Continue reading The music is different here, the vibrations are different, not like planet earth

My Brits? Your Brits? Their Brits?

Last night saw a distinct rise in temperature as my cold settled in for forty eight hours and The Brits raged on the TV. I say rage, it was more like ramble, helpless as its desire for credibility fell victim to Corden arse licking claptrap. Thinly veiled wank jokes sat next to Bieber love me desperation as the one known as Not-Ruth-Jones tried to dismiss … Continue reading My Brits? Your Brits? Their Brits?

A Ma, a Ga and one tweed coat

My Nan, Lucy. Shortest lady, shortest skirt. Today we braved Bexhill and the wind to marvel in the wonder that is the De La Warr Pavilion. The Erich Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff architecture never ceases to inspire me and this month’s content Moving Portraits – 60 years of film and video portraits continued that inspiration.
